Nothing unexpected given how everything played out. These recruits like Jarred may play with chips on their shoulders since they may feel they should've been considered earlier. Worst to first is our goal.

I agree, ptc. But the key word (or, number) is 4. Arguably, much less risk in signing JUCOs or grad transfers. Although, truth is there weren’t many of those left either by the time Davis signed his contract.

i like having four year players. too many juco’s take a year to adjust. the reality seems to be you get one good year if any. of course there are exceptions.

In Greek mythology, the Titans were greater even than the gods. They ruled their universe with absolute power! Well that basketball court out there tonight, that's our universe. Let's rule it like Titans! (with apologies to coach boon)

Of the 5 known commitments, 1 is a JUCO, 1 is a grad transfer, and 3 are freshmen.

At about the 1:00 minute mark of the video linked to by JDetroitTitan, you will see Rosser dunk over the Class 7A Georgia State HS championship team, Meadowcreek HS team. Jarred's team lost 62-61. Why is this significant? Because former Titan, now Presbyterian recruit Corey Hightower was playing for Meadowcreek in that game.

Hightower is in the Titan's rear view mirror now just like what Jarred Rosser did in the video

The Meadowcreek player #23 that you see Rosser dunking over and being fouled by is 6'9" 225 Amari Kelly who will be a freshman at Duquesne this coming season.

JDetroitTitan - I agree that the past is in our rearview mirror. But perspective and potential on a newly committed player is also nice to have heading into the final weekend of July. Thank you for finding and linking to that video.

His Twitter page has not been deleted. He has deleted certain references to his commitment and to his trip to Detroit. He was always just a verbal commitment after the date for signing a national letter of intent had expired. He was on campus in late August for freshman orientation. As we learned with Shy McClellan, sometimes things don't work out for various reasons. Best not to speculate at this time until a final roster is announced. We are now less than two weeks from the official start of the 2018-19 college basketball season.

OK, we mean the same thing. He has taken down his tweet announcing his verbal commitment to us. When you said "his Twitter page," that said to me that he took down his entire Twitter account. Thanks for clarifying. Too bad for the young man. Hope he bounces back.
